I found Robert a reasonably charming man. (more charming than the other two candidates anyway, and he managed to disagree with the old guard while maintaining their support) He was obviously intelligent although he seemed too be deliberately holding back when in discussion with members although threw this he was clearly gauging the members with which I have no qualms with. Unlike some people he

Hello All,It's been a while but with the brand new semester well under-way (and essays are looming!) it's time to provoke some debate. So this week's question is:"With the recent election of Robert Jenrick as PPC for Newcastle-Under-Lyme, how did you feel being part of the selection process? And what do you think we need to do to beat Paul Farrelly in the run up to the next General Election?"

It was probably the best programme I’d seen over the Christmas period, and yet it was made and first broadcast over ten years ago. What am I talking about? The Dinner Party.Over the past few weeks (and indeed the next few weeks coming up), Channel 4 are slowly releasing their archives of comedy, documentaries and drama to the world for free. All through a nifty little program called 4oD. One of

Sky News has released the results of their poll today on which celebrities you’d like to see in the Cabinet. Surprisingly, Sir David Attenborough topped the list as Prime Minister, with Jamie Oliver nestling in as Health Secretary. 2,226 responded, and the winners are: Prime Minister: Sir David Attenborough Chancellor: Carol Vorderman Foreign Secretary: Sir Michael Palin Justice Secretary:

Staffordshire University has conceded to calls from Conservative Future to open up the University to democratic activity and allow political parties onto the university campus. Conservative Future will be on the University campus in Stafford on 11th February, and Stoke-on-Trent campus on 12th February, promoting the Conservative Party and youth politics, as well as inviting students to join

It's very early on a Sunday morning only one week before Christmas. I'm hearing word through the blogs that an truly staggering poll will be revealed later today. YouGov's research for the Sunday Times should reveal a Conservative lead of a massive 13 points. The Liberal Democrat lead isn't yet around (from what I can see), but topline voting intentions for the main two parties are LAB-CON-32%-45

Today Gordon Brown stood in front of the liaison committee and answered questions for one and a half hours from chairmen of the various committees. Meanwhile in Lisbon 26 other leaders from around the European Union were signing the ‘Lisbon Treaty’ or the ‘amending treaty.’ Number 10 diary planners are supposedly the best and have known abut the ‘clash’ for some time now.

Britain, Britain, Britain. This week’s polling results from Populus make for interesting reading if you’re interested in politics. Whether you’re red or blue, the poll makes for – to put it diplomatically – positive and not-so-positive reading. Peter Riddell summed it up rather nicely in The Times the other day, saying that despite there being a pivotal group being dis-satisfied with Labour,

I was absolutely delighted to read David Cameron’s speech “Stronger Together,” which touched on a very important topic for me personally…the state of the Union between Scotland and England. Although we may be the ‘Conservative and Unionist’ party officially we never seem to use the ‘Unionist’ part for campaign literature, posters and the party website, if indeed it was ever at all used in

How attached are we to logos? You will know doubt recall the storm in a tea cup over the transformation of the Conservative party logo, swapping a forearm holding a blazing blue torch for an arty, modern, green tree. Many at the time would have liked for the tree to be torched, but most have now come to terms with the new identity, the tree 'grew' on them if you will. But at the time there was a
